Looking at a used Bushmaster xm15-e2s.I have never owned an ar15,now that the price is down I would like to buy one.Is there anyway to tell the year made and rate of twist.Please someone tell me about this rifle and what is worth.It doesnt have a scope but has a removeable carry handle could I add a scope or will the front iron sight be a problem.It would be used for plinking and maybe some varmint hunting ..Thanks

The rate of twist may be etched on the barrel, but I'm fairly certain that rifle has a 1/9 twist.
BM make a good rifle.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

+1, Bushie makes some good stuff. rate of twist should be in front of front sight base, or under handguards.
As C.T. said, probably a 1/9 twist, but they also offer a 1/7 rate option.

I concur..Bushy makes a good rifle .. twist is on the barrel . Eithe r1/9 or 1/7 should serve you well . AR's are fun, and can be quite accurate
